What I think makes a good photograph? Hmmmm . . . Minor White advised that a photograph should go beyond showing what something is and show us what else it is. Paul Strand advised that it is one thing to make a portrait that shows us what someone looks like, but quite another thing to show us who that person is. These two photographers show us the way by encouraging us to go beyond what the lens sees and to remember that photography is a way for us human beings to connect with one another. Good photographs go beyond photography, beyond mere pictures. For me, a good photograph is one that builds a bridge of connection — between the photographer and the viewer, between the viewer and the world, between those who view a photograph. Photographs that don’t make connections are mere graphic curiosities.
